Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
I guess that means any chance of having Fire Flowier insult Icy and Fox just went out of the window.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Whoo boy, hope I can get caught up on everything in the last few days. I had to prioritise my RP time and since nobody was trying to interact with Quaver, I let this slide for a bit.

Anypony of mine save for Silvermane could handle insults.

If it's still relevant, it sounds fine. Except for the "sound of flesh being chopped up" bit, that's a no-go.

Eh, depends on the insult. Good call though, if in doubt, ask, or just don't do it.

Simmer? The most she could do is delay him. The only way to actually defeat him is through love and understanding. It'd surprise me if Fireflower were even capable of a genuine hug.
So, the things she devotes her entire life to being able to fight, she can't fight because she's devoting her life to fighting said things. Kind of a cruel irony.
It's even sadder than that though. She's doing all this to become as effective as Hullabaloo. Hullabaloo is 4 years old.

I imagine the town has some sort of defensive measures in case of emergencies. Even if that's just getting all civilians the heck out of there.
Naturally, no PCs are going to be forced out of town once Simmer is unleashed. Just the NPCs.
I'm asking because I recall varying numbers of civilian ponies living in town. Regardless, the first priority would be getting everypony it was possible to to safety.
I have the odd feeling evacuation is going to involve Fireflower.
Naturally, this isn't relevant until Simmer actually gets out (Not sure when that's going to be) and may not be relevant at all (Maybe it just happens offscreen?) but I felt I should ask.
Hmmm ... I wonder if I can get Thanqol to bring back Whitefire for this arc. i kinda wanna see how she'd handle it.

It should be, but that particular scene was also happening a little before the present time. If Deme doesn't respond in a day or so, I'd say just find another starting location in the present time. Mass evacuations are always a great way to meet new people. :smallbiggrin:
And don't worry, we try to keep timey-wimey shenanigans to a minimum.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Are Smoothie and Fireflower in Soft Serve's? (i.e. Downtown bar thread) I might have lost track of which thread they are posting in right now.

Go for the Downtown/Bar thread would be my suggestion.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Okay, before I'm confused further.
Where are everypony's ponies at, at the moment? I'm getting myself confused with the Downtown thread and partially with the Commercial businesses thread.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Well, I'd assumed that everyone was in the bar, Zorroan would be there right now if i'd had time to post yet :smalltongue:
The bar is closed? Didn't know that =o

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
PastSandy is in a magic show (Town Square) with Top Hat and Silk Scarf. But that is in the past, and can be safely ignored for the moment.
CurrentSandy is on the outskirts of town at the exit to the Haunted Mansion.
In the future, let's make good use of our half-dozen location threads.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
For me.
*Gwynfillion's in her Tower dealing with Simmer shenanigans and temptation.
*Fox Trot's in the Soda Bar from *bad* (:smalltongue:) information.
*Spark Chaser is lost in the haunted house/tower on the outskirts of town trying to find his little sister.
*Cloud Chaser is safe and sound with Silverpine, Winterflap, Flower Tail, and Night Jewel at the exit of the haunted house/tower on the outskirts of town.
*Gearstride is with Sandy at the exit of the haunted house/tower on the outskirts of town

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Zorroan/Quaver Rest is at Soft Serve's bar, looking for Smoothie and Fireflower
Iggy is in Canterlot, mopping the floors for Princess Celesti- Oh wait, he's not even in this RP yet :smalltongue:
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Night Jewel, Winterflap and Flower Tail are at the Haunted House exit.
Sweetheart is wandering around everywhere, looking for clues as to what's going on.
Blades, Raven, Lilac, Blue Bubbles and Stella do not exist in this universe and probably never will.

Of my active ponies.
Purple is still in The Haunted House waiting for her goup to continue.
Past Fireflower is getting a talking to from Dawn Blossom outside the Bakery in the Commercial district.
Present Fireflower is about to teleport from Soft's Bar to the town square.
Hover Heart is Trick o' Treating with Blazing Hooves near the Town Square.
Grills is asleep in Gwynfilllion's bed at her Tower. :smallwink:

Correction, Present Fireflower is in the backroom of the bar, otherwise more confusion will be tossed into the mix xD

That's not a correction. That's a clarification. :smalltongue:

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
I like clarifications, clarifications are cool.
As one example; where are ponies getting evacuated to? Is it the Civic Centre?

Sounds like the Civic Center.
Would it be too much to assume that it has some method of getting large amounts of ponies elsewhere such as a teleportation circle? I mean, it's apparently supposed to deal with needing to potentially evacuate ponies, and there are plenty of things that have to be dealt with by going somewhere else entirely rather than just higher up.

It was fun while it lasted, but I am going to have to officially drop out, sorry all.
I haven't been able to sit down and post anything major due to work, and I don't want to detract from the quality of the RP.
I really am sorry. :smallfrown:

Last time I checked, Pyrite had pulled Purple aside to make sure this wasn't too much for her.
Also, we're waiting on past!Fireflower in the bakery thread.

No worries. Come back when you find the time, Bridle Shores will still be here I'm sure (pending outcome of Shimmer) :smallwink:

I'm okay with this, is this the decision we've reached? Just trying to figure out where to post Zorroan's next moves.

Seeing how there's been no complaints (and I technically posted there already :smalltongue:) I'd say go for it.

Well, there is a mass evacuation with herds of ponies inside the civic center and its night time, Sweet Dreams could have some reaction to it. :smallwink::smallbiggrin:

50
But if you add the palette swaps, racial swaps, cutie mark swaps, clones, foals that don't go outside, and 40 Derpies.
About 500-600 ponies
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Yeah, I don't imagine it to be a particularly big town, far less than a thousand ponies. Maybe somewhere closer to 200-300? That'd be my guess.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
An Evacuation? Well, I guess I'll have to wait for that to clear up to introduce my characters. It would just be out of character for them not to have a flashy entrance.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
In order to not drag out this night longer than its already been..which feels like FOREVER
I suggest that for some reason that Simmer take the time to leave with an ominous warning or whatever and come back to troll the next day or something.

I was going to say that I couldn't think of any plausible reason that Simmer would up and leave, but then I realized it could sort of make sense if he wanted to crush their hopes even further by hitting them while they're at full strength. I'd say it'd be up to Sildra whether or not we conclude this long night. And for the record, I'm okay with long days/nights if there is plot actively happening. Provided everypony has something to do, it's aight in my book.

Just a clarification request from the peanut gallery, is the cold feeling gone, or her magic?

What exactly are we waiting for in the Civic Center again?

I think everypony there was waiting for some word from the evacuation folks, then they'd be taken/teleported to a camp outside of town (or at least that's where I pictured them going). Which will probably come as soon as things in the bar progress a little.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
As a side note... What would happen if Foxglove's version of evacuating is, in fact, sitting on her metaphorical porch in her metaphorical rocking chair metaphorically holding a shotgun*, to protect the animals she can't send off into the mountains? Which it will be, I just want to know.
(*may not actually be a weapon of offensive magic of any sort)
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Well probably not much since her grove is just a little ways from town where most of the action will take place..But who knows, maybe some armor baddie will come across there to try to get at dear Foxglove.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
So what exactly is everypony evacuating from?
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
A slightly hammy big bad evil ancient armor that wants to enslave ponies and make clones of them, or something.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Alright, so we can move this along to the next ponyday and get people back into participation mode, what are we doing about the evacuation? I see this happening one of two ways:
1) We decide that the Civic Center (already said to be magical) is likely the safest place for them. A camp outside of town is too exposed to attack by Simmer, and the mages can work on enhancing the magical protections there. Shenanigans ensue as ponies get forced into the same building for a while.
2) We decide a camp outside of town is the safest place for them. Simmer plans to attack the town, and keeping the citizens as far away from him as possible is the best solution. Shenanigans ensue as ponies are forced to survive off the land and some supplies.
No matter which one we choose, I propose we keep the evacuee camp in the General Town thread, and all the ponies facing off against Simmer in the Downtown thread. Personally, I vote #1. The Center just seems like a safer place than camping outside of town. The ponies inside can get teleported away if things go badly.
EDIT: Also, I'll make sure in my next post to flag down an NPC pony to send word to the Civic Center of what's going on. Let ponies have a chance to react and all that.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Option Number Uno I'm all for.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
I say 1.
The Civic centre is best.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
I'm fine with either, though I'd suspect Option 2 would involve something like a Cast Away-esque side adventure.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Alright, it looks like the general vote is to stay in the Civic Center. We can have a volunteer show up right away to give ponies the word. It'd give people something to do while we finish up at the Bar.
Can somepony else handle that NPC spokespony? Between school and another thing I'm DM'ing, I'm a little swamped at the moment.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Sure, I'll handle the npc spokespony when that time comes.
-
Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
I just realized how angry Fireflower will be when she learns that she misses a battle against Simmer.
So many possibilities. So much fire.
Fortunately Simmer is immune to fire.

You could probably go ahead and do that now. Not sure when somepony in the Bar scene will get a chance to send word out, and it isn't that big of a time jump.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
FireFlower can try her hooves at Simmer if you really want to. Could make for a good scene to play out. :)
The only question would be where and when?

Probably the next evening. Gives Grills enough time to get mad/guilt-ridden and reluctantly join his mother.

Re: [MLP FiM] Bridle Shores Out of character thread 6
Hey Tectonic? Were you going to reply to Zorroan or shall I just assume that she drops Candles off at the Civic Centre and goes looking for trouble again?
